Lyrics
Hop another train
I'm headin' Eastward toward the plains
I'm tryin' to move along
I thought that things were going right
And I'd make her my wife
But now she's good and gone
She caught me on the phone
With some woman far from home
Who I kept callin', "hun"
She beat me black and blue
With the heel of her shoe
And sent me on the run
Back to the station
Where I came from
So now I'm headin' to Topeka
Where I'll finally get to meet her
I can't wait no more
Hop off at the station
Put a smile on my face
Forgot my bags on board
But I'm not at all worried
'cause I know that where we're going
No we won't need clothes
I should've known it all along
That this couldn't last too long
And I'd be gone by morn'
I'd go back to the station
Where I came from
Back to the station
Where I belong
So before the dawn I stow away
On a freight train bound for Bangor, Maine
Where the weather's cool
I never had a lobster roll
But I heard they serve 'em cold
Don't that sound weird to you?
But these women from New England
They all tend to dress and speak good
And they're beautiful
So maybe here is where I'll find her, in Nantucket or Rhode Island
Man, who am I tryin' to fool?
I go back to the station
Where I came from
Back to the station
Where I belong
I've got nothin' on my back but this guitar
And a bed of leaves beside an old box car
I'm paintin' faces, drawin' lines between the stars
Lord, I'm comin' home
I go back to the station
Where I came from
Back to the station
Where I belong
I go back to the station
Where I came from
Back to the station
Where I went wrong
